Hi All. Please confirm Garden Warbler for the first bird.
Second bird I had as Yellow Warbler but just want to rule out a very yellow Icterine?

Not sure what other options there are but 1 isn't a garden warbler. I would consider Icterine for that one.

I think the 2nd is ok for yellow warbler.

Marsh makes sense, fits with habitat also. Many thanks for the replies.

Bear in mind ‘Marsh’ refers to the breeding habitat and not the Wintering one and MW’s are found singing and feeding in a range of habitats on migration. The ones that used to breed locally here in Worcestershire were found in overgrown Nettle beds with low scrub:t:

Yes, here in Zim if it’s in a marsh it’s not a Marsh! There was one in a friends garden up the road which I missed so very chuffed to see this guy.
